He wasn’t very famous in his own time, but San Francisco adman Howard Luck Gossage has acheieved cult status. A compilation of his writing and other thoughts about him called The Book of Gossage is required reading for young creatives.

Now, British filmmaker Ashley Pollak, Creative Director at Etio, is working to complete a documentary about Gossage, entitled The Socrates of San Francisco: Howard Luck Gossage. Here’s the trailer:

We have been working on this project for six years, done innumerable hours of research, visited the States 3 times and met all the key characters that make up the story. We have also filmed a great proportion of key interviews on our last trip. We now need to get the film in the can and move onto Edit, Post and completion.
